Four things this is not
Not a paywall tool, not a library of other people's reading, not a polite fiction about robots, not affiliated with Amazon.
· RoutineInk
Most of the site says what RoutineInk is. This is the shorter, more useful list: what it deliberately is not, and why.
Not a paywall tool
The browser extension reformats the page you are already reading, in your own logged-in session. Our servers never sign in as you and never work around an access control. If you cannot read it in your browser, you cannot send it here — and if you can, you are sending yourself something you already had.
That is also why the extension, not a server, does the extracting. The site sees you and not a bot, the article comes out the way you saw it, and there is no fleet of scrapers quietly pretending to be readers.
Not a library of other people's reading
One user, one copy. Extracted content is never shared between accounts, there is no public archive, and everything expires on the retention window your plan states — 90 days on Standard, kept until you delete it on Pro. Two people sending the same article get two copies, built twice. It costs us a little more and it keeps the product honest.
Not a polite fiction about robots
On the rare occasions we fetch a page server-side — a feed, a newsletter link, a page you pasted into the
dashboard — we identify ourselves, honour robots.txt and rate-limit per host.
Here is the fetcher, what it sends, and how to block it in one line.
Not affiliated with Amazon
We deliver through Amazon's personal-documents feature, which means Amazon's rules apply and Amazon can change them — four times since early 2025, at last count. We think that is a fair trade for the one e-reader with a real delivery system, and we keep a copy of everything we send in your library so a change on their side never takes your reading with it.
